I get lost in thought as I feel her lusting after my mouth.

What should I do?

“Hmm… Sigh…”

She parted her lips and looked at me with red eyes.

Cheeks full of blush.

Red eyes that look wet and moist.

And heavy breathing.

Up… it’s dangerous! If you do this, you will be eaten.

What should I do? What should I do?

Usually when married men engage in mandatory defensive battles. I’ve heard that people pretend to sleep.

But since it doesn’t fit the current situation, I pass.

“What are you thinking?”

I say to her question:

“Ah… I’m not thinking about anything?”

She laughs and says at my words.

“After something like that, your eyes start to roll?”

“That… That’s it…”

It can’t be helped, right? If I don’t do well, I might be poisoned in 10 months.

Even servants preparing food proved unable to completely prevent poisoning.

No matter how hard Mary’s maids worked, didn’t Theodora drink an aphrodisiac last time?

In other words, the proposition that there is no person in this world who cannot be killed is true.

As I think about that, I think about how I can somehow get out of this situation.

Ah… is that really the only option?

“Theodora, wait a minute…”

To take out the cigar I’ve been carrying for a long time, I sat up straight on the sofa and took the cigar out of my pocket…

“Huh?”

She took away the cigarette with a bright smile…

-Snap!

“What is this…?”

I broke my cigar.

“Smoking is prohibited in the newlywed room from now on.”

She smiles brightly, but feels an intangible pressure as if there is a dragon behind it.

-gulp.

I make a quick decision when I see that my last resort is blocked.

I nod, thinking that I should avoid this place first.

“Ah… Okay, I’ll wash up and come out.”

Saying that, I head to the bathroom.

-Kkeiik, shoot.

Take off your clothes under the water in the bathtub.

-with a splash.

Melt your body in warm water and relieve the fatigue of the day.

“Hehe… It’s cool.”

But what should I do? Theodora’s eyes were unusual.

First, I ran to the bathroom to escape from her spell, but her eyes were unusual.

It’s like the look in a dragon’s eyes before hunting.

“Should I run away to the Grand Duke?”

I think that wouldn’t be bad either.

If she runs away to the Grand Duke’s office because she has urgent work to do without drying her hair properly… there won’t be much she can do.

To begin with, this was an era where religious views influenced people’s perceptions.

Here, women’s sexual desires are taboo.

It would probably be difficult for her to tell me directly.

So I organize my thoughts, wash my hands, and come out.

-Quick!

A bed placed in the center of the newlywed room.

She pulled the blanket up to her neck and looked at me with moist eyes.

Looking at that scene, I get lost in thought.

I won’t let you go easily, will I?

I clear my throat as I look at her who seems to have made up her mind for today.

“Hmm… Theodora, something important suddenly occurred to me… I’m going to the Grand Study Club.”

As soon as he says that, he turns his attention to her and walks towards the door.

“Wait a minute!”

-Thump, flutter!

Before I knew it, Theodora ran up to my side and grabbed my wrist.

“Don’t go, please… Please stay with me tonight.”

The sight of her crying faintly gives me chills.

Uh… what should I do?

The most beautiful woman in the world, who is trying to discredit me, cries and asks me to hug her.

-My heart pounding… my heart pounding…

My heart is pounding hard when I see that.

She speaks while crying with a very lovely face.

You shouldn’t fall for those words.

There must be deadly poison behind that beautiful face.

Isn’t the meaning of those words, spoken by the woman who declared war to have me removed from office in the first place, too obvious?

It’s a ploy to get me out of office… nothing more, nothing less.

so…

“Hmm… I have data to report at the cabinet meeting tomorrow. I think today will be a little difficult. Next time…”

He hugs her and whispers in her ear.

“At that time, I will seduce you first. Can you hold on until then?”

As she gently fell like that… Theodora, who was bright red, nodded slightly.

“Yes…”

Feeling reassured by that sight, I head to the Grand Duke’s office.

Phew… I survived.

***

A man with green hair.

The man looks at the ground from a high mountain.

“Precious One. There is news from Roman.”

Locust, the king of grasshoppers, responds to those words.

“Okay… how did it go?”

“That…”

A man who hesitates.

The man with almost bald head is a wandering knight who is quite famous in the empire.

Jacob, a famous wandering knight with outstanding abilities and chivalrous spirit.

“It looks like the empire is tracking us, so we decided to take a break for a while.”

Locust flinches at those words.

And soon…

He turns and stares at Jacob.

“Do you know what orders I… heard in hell?”

When I said that and gently stretched out my hand, Jacob grabbed his neck as if he was suffocating…

“Ko…, Cough! Cough!… Ha… But! Ugh!”

A Locust gently grasping something in the air.

As his hand slowly rises, Jacob slowly begins to float in the air.

“I asked if I knew what order I had received.”

Jacob’s red face contrasts with the pale man’s steady voice.

-widely!

As Locust’s grip on the air loosens, Jacob clutches his neck and coughs.

“Cough… Cough!”

Locust, seeing Jacob coughing with a red face, turns his head and gazes at the ground below the mountain.

“Good, since you called me here. I will respect you. But… it’s not okay to be sluggish. Did you say Amon? Since that guy is trying to overthrow the empire as a commoner… I will create a situation where the commoners will rise up.”

Locust looking at a huge wheat field growing along a large river.

As he stretches out his hand, a huge number of locusts hiding in the mountain rush towards the wheat field.

***

This is a story I was hinted at from Debian last night.

He is relaying the story to the leadership of his faction.

“First of all, Count Savinelli is scheduled to be inaugurated as Minister of Justice, so please be aware of that.”

Savinelli speaks as if he is a little surprised by those words.

“Are you saying the Archduke gave permission?”

I nod my head as he speaks in disbelief.

“Okay, I’m done talking to him.”

Savinelli ponders my words with a puzzled look on his face.

“The Minister of Justice is an important position with the authority to prosecute and command Roman City’s security forces. How can you easily pass up a position like that? I don’t understand the Archduke’s thoughts.”

I also think about that for a moment.

It can be said that the work that the Ministry of Justice oversees is large.

There are two greatest powers.

It has various other powers, including the task of executing court decisions and the power to appoint prosecutors.

I didn’t think about it at the time, but why is he putting my person there?

Since his actions are so scheming, I wonder what he can gain from this…

Nothing comes to mind.

Why did he say that?

He had been thinking for a long time about how he could take the Minister of Justice away from his faction, but he gave it to him so easily.

It’s strange.

It’s suspicious… They’re planning something again. you?

He planned to carry out his duties as Minister of Justice even if Congress vetoed his agenda.

Although the number is small compared to the troops he deployed to Roman, he can maintain a security force that maintains security.

Also, since he can keep the Supreme Court in check, the thoughts of the Supreme Court justices he bribed will be a little more complicated.

“But they say they will give it to you, so there is no reason to refuse it, right?”

Chairman Charles comes forward and brightens the mood.

“I also agree with that statement. Regardless of the Grand Duke’s intentions, the position of Minister of Justice is ultimately a very important position.”

As the maternal grandfather nodded and spoke, Savinelli showed signs of anxiety.

“The Archduke is a man who is good at tricking his opponents by pretending to give them a big bait. You cannot easily accept him without knowing his intentions.”

I think deeply about those words.

Let’s look back on Devian’s actions during the anti-emperor civil war, in the fight against Ioannes, and even in negotiations with the emperor faction before that.

His strategy of giving bait that has been difficult to refuse and defeating the enemy in a way that the opponent has never thought of is definitely threatening.

“I also mainly used deceptive tactics in war. But it’s hard to believe that the Archduke, a master of deception, will give it up easily.”

With those words, the former Minister of Justice steps forward.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Although the Minister of Justice is in a position of responsibility, he also receives protection.”

John, who previously served as Minister of Justice.

“But the end of life for those who accept the sweet offer from the Archduke is not good.”

In fact, everyone is lost in thought because they all know how Ioanes collapsed after receiving that offer.

The leader of the imperial faction and a king who once ruled three kingdoms.

The one who made him strong is also Debian, and the one who brought him down is Debian.

“But… we have no official authority at all right now. It would be crazy to refuse this.”

“That’s why I’m afraid. Aren’t we supposed to know what evil plan the Archduke is plotting?”

at that time. Emperor Enrique steps forward and speaks.

“Kuhm… Let us just say something… I think it might be a reconciliation gesture from the Archduke. Honestly, it doesn’t make sense for him to completely ignore us and discuss national affairs, no matter how much he holds real power over the empire. Perhaps they are making a gesture of reconciliation with His Majesty the Emperor’s veto in mind.”

What Enrique says makes sense.

“Whoa… I finally came back.”

A long, long meeting continues like that.
